REN Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser - Review

I love cleansers and really take care with my skincare routine. I especially enjoy my evening products and like to take time with removing my makeup and doing a full cleanse, tone and moisturise. For a while now I have been removing my cleanser with a warm flannel and loving the feel of this new step. The cleansers I have been using are not specifically hot cloth cleansers however and so I was excited to try something designed for this purpose.

 

When I think of REN as a brand I think of high quality, luxury products with impressive ingredients and no nasties.

 

REN Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser £16*

The packaging of this product is simple yet high quality. The bottle is an excellent design, I think it's an airless pump system. I always find these brilliant for less wastage of product and you don't end up having to cut them open to get the last uses! The bottle comes in an outer box which also holds the cloth. I was happy to find that this is a cotton flannel rather than a muslin cloth. Personally I am not a fan of muslin cloths as I find them too thin and find that they seem to slide over the cleanser rather than really remove it.
Now on to the product itself. The cleanser is a lovely thick, creamy consistency with a gorgeous light rose scent. The idea is to rub the cleanser all over your dry face, with your makeup still on, and then use the warm cloth to gently polish the product off. I am used to doing a double cleanse but find that I don't really need to with this as my makeup is removed effectively and my face is left squeaky clean. I recently went on a night out and wore heavy makeup. I chose to do a double cleanse and used a cleansing water to remove some of the makeup, just so I knew it was thoroughly removed. On a daily basis however, I would stick to just using this on it's own. After rinsing the cleanser from my face, I splash with cold water to close the pores.
This product is a joy to use and there is no dry feeling or tightness of the skin at all. The cleanser is very hydrating and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Recently I have found myself with a lot of breakouts but the cleanser calms them, draws out the redness and so far I haven't had anymore.
At £16 I think this cleanser is very reasonably priced and I will definitely be looking to repurchase in the future.
